That sounds very little. Aren't we more like at least four times as

I don't know how many accounts were entitled to vote in total, but we
probably only had 20-25% of people caring to vote, which looks
bad [1]. How can we improve this mark?
[1] Some people will use the argument "everyone was happy, so no one
went voting", but that's not a valid argument. If people are happy
the least they could do is click on a web voting application to
confirm their happyiness (which BTW is really a painless effort,
credits to the authors of it, I think this was mainly Toshio).
Its a sad thing to say but...
"Most people were american, so no one went voting"
I could be wrong, but I bet apathy played a roll in low voter turnout. Or a
lack of knowledge about the candidates.
Don't blame me, I voted for Jef.
Seriously -- if we think that it's important to get more people to vote,
we need to make a concerted effort. As in, a nag script. "We see you
haven't voted yet! Voting for the membership of (Fedora board / Fedora
subproject foo) is one of your most sacred rights as a citizen of the
Fedora nation! It'll take two minutes, srsly. Click here!"
